1/32 ZM Bf-109 G14 Cowling Question

[Paul2660]

ZM appears to give two ways to display the cowlings over the engine, either both open or closed.  I don't want to have them permanently open, but would like to take them off to show the engine at times.  My question, has anyone glued the two halves to the center hinge piece and then just fit them down over the engine? But not gluing them to the sides of the fuselage.  Thus you could pull both off together to show the engine.  I realize this is not how it worked with the real aircraft, but I don't want to have them open all the time.  ZM's method for displaying open seems to have you glue the cowlings up.   

 

It seems you could also cut just one set of the uprights on part H8, and glue one side closed and have the other permanently open.  

 

Being able to have them stay closed over the engine during painting is a plus also.  

 

Thanks
